rhe wild Work of Washington's Pitcher
Helps Indianapolis to Win a Game.
WASHINGTON, May 30-The Indianapolis
cam turned the tables on the Wsshingtons in
the afternoon game, and won through the wild
and ineffective pitching of Shaw. In only one
inning did the visitors bunch their bits, but in
this innng--the fourth-they made six clean
nits, including drive the fence by Shom-
berg, and earned five runs The home club was
unable to do much with Morrison, but the visit
ielded rather poorly, and allowed the Wash
lngtons TO tie the game in the fifth inning.
From this inning until the ninth was reached
neither side could score, but the Hoosiers won
the game in this inning base on balls. a
Iacrifce hit. and Dennys single. There were

Detroit,s Dissatisfaction.

Detroit Special
While everybody is rejoicing over the success
of the Detroit base ball team and taking inn
mense amount of pride in the celebrated slug
gers, there is considerable speculation to
whether there is much if any truth in the report
that the club will belong to Detroit after this
season. 1t is true that the directors are in
earnest when they say that no amount of money
can buy the team any of the principal players
this year, but the fact remains that they do not
propose to sink any considerable sum OF money
simply matter of pride. President Stearns
is an ardent base ball man, and it cannot be said
of him that he desires to make any money out Of
the team. and so long as both ends come within
short distance of meeting. It is said on good
authority, however, that Director Vail, who
twothirds of all the stock of the club,
will not be satisfied with anything short of a
handsome money balance the right side OF
the ledger at the close Of the season, and that If
he sees this cannot be had he will more willingly
than perhaps any other stakeholder or director,
listen to the siren voices from Philadelphia. New
York, Chicago and other cities and consent to
the sale of the team In short, Director Vail is
said to be in the club for the purpose of making
money.
Despite all the talk on the part of Detroit bust
men that the club must not be allowed to go
down. it is doubtful if there are sufficient num-
Der in this city who would contribute the neces-
sary amount to keep Detroit in the League and
it's splendid club intact. So far there is nothing
discouraging in the outlook, and, If the home
games draw good average attendance
did those that were played this month the
will not be Improbable. 1t is unsatis-
factory thing to contemplate, however, that the
famous nine, with its immense drawing powers,
must accept 1928 a game when out of town In
Philadelphia. for instance, the club, it is said,
made 900 for the local management, and was
permitted to carry away only $500.
1t hoped that this rule will be rescinded at
the next annual meeting of the League, and
that if the old system of dividing the receipts is
not returned to. the amount allowed the visiting
club will be greatly increased. It is disgusting
to think that the poorest team in the League
should get much when they play out of their
own town as is given the Detroits If this rule
is not changed it is pretty certain that Detroit
will drop out of the League not more through
their ina b ity to keep their end up than disgust
and indignation at the treatment they have re-
ceiveG.

after the most enthusiastic of the 1000 spectat-

who had been laid off, pitched his third cham
pionship game of the season, and considering
that he had not had much pr actice, he proved
tolerably effective, keeping the hits scattered.
Casey pitched magnifcently until the ninth in
ming when he suddenly let down. and the Pitts
burgers made six of their ten hits. His support
went to pieces at the time, and before the Pitts
burgs retired they had added FIVE runs to their
score, on three errors, singles by Coleman, Whit
ney, Kuehne and Morris, do uble by Miller and
n home by Carroll The visitors failed to
score in their half of the inning. Score:

WASHINGTON, March In the House,
on motion OF Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, the
rules were suspended and the Senate
amendments to the House Joint resolution
for investigation of the accounts OF the
Pacific railroads were nOn-cOnCurTed in.
On motion of Mr.. Voorhees,, of Washing
ton Territory, the Senate amendments
were cOncurrGd in, TO the bill aHneXlng
a portion of Idaho to Washington Ter
ritOry.
The House then resumed the cOnsidera-
ton of the conference report on the Fish
cries RetaliatOTy bill.
Mr. Clements, of Georgia, asked the
House TO stand by its cOnierees.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, said that the
position taken by the gentleman from
Massachusetts, Rice was one which made
this affair a squabble between New Eng
land and Canada. Was it true that the
power of railroad corporations had become
so great that they could call a halt to Con-
gress when they wanted the people of the
whole United States to take the cause of
the New England fishermen in their hands
and settle it by showing Great Britain
and Canada that we are not to be trifed
with?
The House (yeas l49, nays 13i, agreed
to reCede from its amendments to the Sen
ate RetallatOry bill. A motion to recon-
stder the vete by which the House receded
from it's amendments to the Senate Retail
atory bill was tabled; the bill is therefore
passed in the form passed by the Senate.
The report of the cOnierees on the retail
iatory bill was agreed to.
Mr.. Rice moved that the House recede
from its amendments to the Senate bill.
Agreed tO-yeas l49, nays 13i.
Mr.. Miller, of Texas, changed his vote

Mr.. Trigg, of Virginia, submitted the
conference report on the bill compensating
Albert H. Emery for the construction OF

Bitter Feeling in NewfOundland-Almo

Bitter Feeling in Newfoundland-Almost u
Declaration of Independence.
HALIFAX, n. $, March 2.-The publi-
cation of the address of the Newfoundland
Legislature to the Imperial Government
has produced \ sensation.
Ifit is not declaration Ofindependence
IL is the next thing it.
The Newf0undlanders tell the Imperial
Government that they own their fisheries,
and they do not propose to pay the shght-
est heed to French or American interests
or TO brook any interference from the I'M
perial Government.
The situation is so serious that both
Premier ThOrburn and Sir Ambrose Shea,
leader of the. Opposition, have lett the
Legislature to take care of itself and gone
TO London to represent the dangerous char
acter of the prevailing feeling IN New
tOundland.
Meanwhile the press and people are
universally discussing the benefits OF an
nexation to the United States. Anything
will be better than the present state oi
affairs. and if annexation were submitted
10 a popular vote it would be carried by
three-fourths majority.
Newfoundland finds itself between tne
devil and the deep sea- On one hand II IS
driven out of the European markets by
Erenrb rivals who receive bounties from
the French Government equal to 6O per
cent. and they are compelled by tne
English Government to supply lnelr
French rivals with bait On the other
hand they are at the mercy OF the AmeIl-
cans for, strange as it may seem, the
treaty of 1918 is null and void as lar as
that colony is concerned, and every denial
of commercial privileges to American yes yes.
sells last year had not even the authority
OF that antiquated treaty for an excuse.
Hence the Necessity OF the bait bill whien
is denied them by England.

A Virginia Republican's Great Expecta-
tions SIoP Over Ia Private.
NEW YORK, March 2.-Ex- Congressman
John s. Wise, of Virginia, was in cheer
full mood to-day when Mda and Express
reporter met him at the Hoffman House
Speaking of his Slate and the outlook for
1SSS, he said:
81 never saw such change in Virginia.
Nearly every Democrat meet is disgusted
with his party. The Old Dominion State
can be counted for the Republicans here
after 1t gave 23, 900 Republican majority
in lSS6, aud do not see any reason why
it should not give the same majority in a
national election. The Democrats are all
torn tO pieces. Just IL, 900 of them, hun
cry and crying for soup, applied to Presi-
dent Cleveland, and one out of that number
got an office. The rest are 'agin' the Ad-
ministratiOn. The number of Democrats
in Virginia will not amount TO q cOrpOrarS
guard. Then, added To the national dis
appointment of these hungry Democrats,
comes our State troubles. Gov. FitZhugh
~ is getting the, State ineXtricaLly in
vOlved in the debt question. lie has
around him lot of young men who are
adopts at dissipating cocktails and other
beverages. The result OF all these diSap-
pointmentS has SOured the average Demo-
crat and made him sick of his own party
You will hear them asking why the DEM
OcratS do not redeem the pledges they
made; why Congress has pigeOn-holed the
Blair Educational bill, and why the inter
nal revenue tax has not been repealed.
Then they see Morrison and Ran
dial pulling away at the sur
plus, locked horns, and nothing
done. The result is many Democrats have
deserted their party outright. Virginia is
trying to develop her mining resources,
and naturally wants protection. She
looks to the Republican party for prOtec-
ton. is Malone politically dead?' Not
much He is on top now and will remain
SO. They snow him under frequently, but
he comes out again rs strong and fresh aS
ever. The Republicans are sure to win in
lSSS, for there is no longer solid South.
Where will New York be then, if it does
90 Democratic? We can elect a President
without New York, but I firmly believe
the Empire State viii go Republican in
lSSS. No, the Democrats of the South are
disgusted, and the greatest stampede will
occur IN lSSS known in the history Of poll
ties, and then goodbye Democratic party

Special Tt'egrum to he Register.

Special Ttlegrum TO me Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 2-The
Governor to-day transmitted the following
bills to be filed with the Secretary OF State
with his veto and his reasons therefore.
Senate bill No. 53, known as the II. G.
Davis RAILROAD bill, changing the name of
the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Rail
road. and enlarging and increasing the
powers Of said road 50 as to extend by
way Of various routes, hereafter to be de-
termined upon, to the Kanawha river and
connection with the c. &; o. and X. & O.
roads.
This bill was vetoed ON the ground that
1t was unconstitutional.
Senate Bill No. %, to amend and re-
enact section Il of chapter 42 of the Code,
as amended and re-enacted by section II
Of chapter Is of the Acts of 1891, concern
ing the taking of land without the owners
consent, for purpose of public utility.
H. B. 296, for the relief of Scott Van
Meter, of Berkeley county.
The following are the Governors reasons
for Yetoing II. b. No. FOL:
VERY IMPORTANT MATTER TO STEAM
BOATMEN.
III. b. No. POI, to amend and re-enact
section - OF chapter "A of the Code as
amended and re-enacted by chapter l59 OF
the Acts of 1852, and as further amended
and re-enacted by chapter 81 of the Acts
Of lSSS, was presented to me on the 25th
day of February. Not being able to
approve nor because of the adjournment
of the Legislature to return said bill within
five days from the tins il was so presented,
l hereby direct said bill, together with my
objections thereto, he filed in the office OF
the Secretary of State. Under said section
-, chapter li, of the Acts Of 1888, the
bridging OF the Kanawha and Big Sandy
rivers shall be according to the manner
that -, or shall be provided by the Con-
gresS Of the United States. As tOthe Ohio
river the ksgSs of the United States protect
completely the navigation of the Ohio
river by prohibiting the erection of bridges
less than ninety feet above high water
mark. Contemplating the tact that the
unObStructed navigation of our rivers is
absolutely essential TO the prosperity of a
great portion OF the State. No law should
be enforced permitting obstruction to its
free use To navigation. The bill now under
consideration authorizes the bridging of
the Ohio, Kanawha, Big Sandy and Tug
rivers in each manner aS now or may here
after be provided by the Congress of the
United States OF the Secretary of War. To
surrender such vital power to the Secre-
retary of War or any other individual,
must certainly have been the result Of
party legislation in the last hours of the
session.
IL could not believe that such q bill
could have been passed had there been
ample time for their consideration.
